Objective: To analyze the prognostic value and threshold effect of serum C3, C4 in patients with multiple myeloma (MM).

Methods: The clinical data of 146 patients with MM who visited Suqian First People's Hospital from October 2016 to October 2019 were collected. The patients were divided into deceased group (42 cases) and survival group (104 cases) according to their prognosis and survival.

Angiogenesis-promoting effect of SKP-SC-EVs-derived miRNA-30a-5p in peripheral nerve regeneration by targeting LIF and ANGPT2.

Ischemia and hypoxia caused by vascular injury intensify nerve damage. Skin precursor-derived Schwann cells have demonstrated an accelerated in vivo pre-vascularization of tissue-engineered nerves. Furthermore, extracellular vesicles from skin precursor-derived Schwann cells (SKP-SC-EVs) show the potential in aiding peripheral nerve regeneration.

Severe atypical skin disease in two patients with CLL/SLL after BTKi treatment - a case report and literature review.

Dermatological adverse events (AEs) are generally mild during therapy with Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor (BTKi), and it is often unnecessary to adjust the BTKi dosage or discontinue treatment. However, in this study, we present the cases of two patients diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL) who experienced severe dermatological AEs during BTKi treatment and subsequently had to discontinue it. The first patient, who previously suffered from rashes, experienced rashes again along with fever when exposed to BTKi.

Biomimic Nanodrugs Overcome Tumor Immunosuppressive Microenvironment to Enhance Cuproptosis/Chemodynamic-Induced Cancer Immunotherapy.

Elesclomol (ES) as an efficient Cu ionophore can specifically transport Cu into mitochondria and disrupt intracellular Cu homeostasis. Extra intracellular Cu induces cuproptosis and chemodynamic therapy (CDT), which further cascades immunogenic cell death (ICD) and activates antitumor immune responses. However, the tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment (TIM) attenuates the efficiency of the immune response.

Construction and characterization of a novel secreted MsC-CAR-T cell in solid tumors.

The CD47-SIRPα signaling has been acknowledged as a significant immune checkpoint and CD47 blocking has been proved as a potential therapeutic strategy for the treatment of solid tumor. However, the potential application of CAR-T cells secreted antibody fragment simultaneously in solid tumor is rarely explored. In this study, we searched bioinformatic databases and investigated the characteristics of CD47 in solid tumors.

[Single-center study of COVID-19 in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia].

To investigate the vaccination status, characteristics and prognosis of patients suffering from a combination of COVID-19 and chronic lymphocytic anemia (CLL) in China. Clinical data of 328 patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) who were first diagnosed with COVID-19 and treated in the Department of Hematology of Jiangsu Provincial People's Hospital between November 2022 and February 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Univariate and multivariate analysis of data of patients with severe/critical COVID-19 were conducted by applying the binary logistic regression model.

The role of suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 in inflammatory bowel disease and its associated colorectal cancer.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and colorectal cancer (CRC), as two of the major human intestinal diseases, provide challenges for the medical field. Suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3), a protein molecule that negatively regulates cytokine signaling through multiple pathways, is involved in the regulation of various inflammatory diseases and tumors. In IBD, SOCS3 acts on a variety of cells to repair mucosal damage and balance the immune response, including epithelial cells, macrophages, dendritic cells, neutrophils, and T cells.

Exploring optimal administration timing of pegylated recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor for chemotherapy-induced neutropenia in early breast cancer treated with pharmorubicin and endoxan: a prospective randomized controlled clinical trial.

Background: Pegylated recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (PEG-rhG-CSF) is a treatment for preventing febrile neutropenia (FN) in patients with early breast cancer. However, the optimal injection timing of PEG-rhG-CSF after chemotherapy is obscure. The trial was designed to explore the best administration timing of PEG-rhG-CSF when breast cancer patients could benefit most.

Peripheral blood lymphocyte subpopulations as predictive biomarkers for first-line programmed death 1 inhibitors efficacy in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma: A retrospective study.

Esophageal cancer (EC) poses a significant global health burden, necessitating effective treatment strategies. Immune checkpoint inhibitors have emerged as a promising therapeutic option for EC, but the identification of predictive biomarkers remains crucial for optimizing patient outcomes. We conducted a retrospective analysis of medical records from advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients treated with first-line programmed death 1 inhibitors.

Sleep deprivation-induced memory impairment: exploring potential interventions.

Sleep's crucial role in memory consolidation is well-established, with neuroimaging and sleep stage analysis revealing the intricate processes involved. Sleep deprivation significantly impairs memory performance and the ability to form new memories, highlighting the need for effective countermeasures. This article concludes that while sleep deprivation significantly impairs memory, the emerging insights into the gut-brain axis offer a promising frontier for developing novel interventions that can mitigate these effects.

Up-regulation of LPCAT1 is correlated with poor prognosis and promotes tumor progression in glioblastoma.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is a cancer with high malignancy because of its rapid proliferation and high metastatic ability. LPCAT1 is reported to play a tumor-promoting role in multiple cancers, but its precise molecular mechanism in GBM remains to be further explored. We aim to explore the biological role of LPCAT1 in GBM.

The relationship between sarcopenia and metabolic parameters of F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (F-FDG PET/CT) and the prognostic value of sarcopenia in early-stage non-small cell lung cancer.

Background: Patients with lung cancer face a heightened risk of developing sarcopenia. Despite this known risk, the impact of sarcopenia on the long-term prognosis of lung cancer patients, specifically concerning progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS), remains unclear. The primary objective of our study was to examine the correlation between metabolic parameters derived from F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (F-FDG PET/CT) and sarcopenia, as well as the prognostic value of sarcopenia in patients with surgically resected early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

A preliminary study on the effects of Xiang Shao granules on reproductive endocrinology in drugged ovariectomised rats.

Objective: To establish a rat model of pharmacological ovariectomy by GnRH-a injection and to preliminarily investigate the reproductive endocrine effects of Xiangshao granules on pharmacologically ovariectomized rats.

Methods: A rat model of pharmacological ovariectomy was established by injecting female rats with Gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist(GnRH-a).The rats were randomly divided into four groups: GnRH-a injected saline group (GnRH-a + NS); GnRH-a injected oestradiol group (GnRH-a + E2); GnRH-a injected Xiangshao granule group (GnRH-a + Xiangshao), and the control group of saline-injected rats (NS + NS).

Analysis of antibody dynamics in Chinese children aged 1-3 years after single-dose varicella vaccination: A 42 months prospective study.

In China, children aged 12 months receive only a single dose of the varicella vaccine and the incidence of varicella remains high. This study aims to evaluate the changes in immunity among children aged 1-3 years following a single dose of the varicella vaccine, providing a scientific basis for determining the optimal age for a second vaccination. This prospective cohort study employed glycoprotein enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (gpELISA) for antibody detection.
